Hello, my name is Jared Mendenhall, a dynamic professional with a strong educational background and diverse experience in the financial sector. Currently pursuing a Master of Science in Finance at Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business, my goal is to excel in investment management. Beginning my journey at Arizona State University's W.P Carey School of Business, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Economics alongside a minor in Business, supported by a prestigious full-tuition scholarship. During my time at ASU, I honed my analytical abilities and developed a solid foundation in financial principles. In my professional tenure, I've had the privilege of contributing to esteemed organizations such as Universal Service Administration Co. (USAC) and IndustryPro. At USAC, I gained invaluable insights into managing the Universal Service Fund, a pivotal aspect of American infrastructure. As a Private Equity Spring Analyst at IndustryPro, I refined my skills in market research and financial modeling, enriching my understanding of investment evaluation processes. My roles as a Financial Accountant at ASU and as a Summer Analyst at Leslie's Pool Supplies Corporate further expanded my expertise, providing hands-on experience in financial transactions, analysis, and reporting, while also fostering my leadership and teamwork skills. Academically, I've participated in impactful initiatives such as the Financial Markets Residency at Georgetown University, where I collaborated on a consulting project aimed at optimizing AUM and investor attraction for AQR Momentum Funds. Equipped with technical competencies in Excel, Python, SQL, and financial modeling, complemented by strong soft skills including presentation, communication, leadership, problem-solving, and critical thinking, I am poised to drive success in investment management roles. I am now seeking opportunities to leverage my expertise and passion for investments to contribute meaningfully to a reputable firm's success.
